Try Mobe.net

Speak to Simon Shute and tell him Neil Fuller from Global Associates sent

Cost is £10/month + 10p per message but costs drop substantially for

Basically, you send their server an Email with the mobile No in the subject
and the message in the body.

We've found them very reliable over the 3 years we've been using them
